That's a great question, Major.

Hard for me, though, to recollect a specific, succesful call among the trillions of calls a coach makes for his offense. Therefore, I too will go for the easy one, albeit totally legitimate and forever positive in the heart of every Ram fan:

You got it 828, that on-side kick vs the Jets was the zenith of Mad Mike's tenure. It almost alone made the east coast sports media insanely hate Mike Martz. The overrated Jets were exposed that day, and MM tried to bury them. That was when we could run the ball and we did it without Faulk who was hurt.

yeah i remember that, Candidate had close to 2ooyds that day didn't he?

Anyway to answer the question. The TD to Cam Cleeland last year in Seattle was Martz in a nutshell.

I gotta go with the post route to McDonald to cap "THE COMEBACK" last year against the Hawks.

I believe it was the 1st TD we scored against the Vikings in the playoffs. Holt and Bruce were lined up on the left side. They both did posts with Holts being deeper than Bruce. Warner hit Bruce on the run and he ran it all the way in for the TD. After that play I knew it was going to be a blow out and we were going to go to the Super Bowl. To me, that play was a thing of beauty. Used it the following year in flag football and just simply called it the Rams, the result...a TD.
